It May Not be The Battery

While most often the battery is either on its’ last legs or dead because a light or the radio was left on, the problem could be a bad connection on your battery posts or a faulty alternator. There is no point in going to buy a new battery at AutoZone or Pep Boys if the battery isn’t the problem. Your Ace In The Hole tow truck driver will do his best to check closely to see if it’s something besides the battery. In any case, we will get your car started so you can be on your way.

How to Use Jumper Cables

If you have a set of jumper cables, and a car to provide a jump, you probably don’t need Ace In The Hole Towing. But, what you do need is some basic information on how to properly use jumper cables. So, here you go:
  1. Check the owner’s manual to make sure that jumper cables can be used safely on the vehicle with the dead battery. It’s rare, but some cars may not be safe far jumper cables.
  2. Before you even move the vehicles close enough for the jumper cables to reach, take a good look around and verify there aren’t any safety issues. Check for children, verifying they are at a safe distance, and check for unstable or otherwise unsafe terrain.
  3. Take a look under the hood of both vehicles to check for the location of the batteries in the engine compartment in each vehicle before moving the vehicle providing the jump. Remember, your jumper cables will only stretch so far.
  4. Make sure both vehicle transmissions are in the ‘P’ (for Park) position, and make sure parking breaks are set on both cars.
  5. For safety reasons, it’s best to turn the engine off on both cars and then identify the positive (usually red and marked with a "+" sign) and negative (usually black and marked with a "-" sign) battery terminals on each car.
  6. Attach one of the red jumper cable clamps to the positive terminal on the vehicle providing the jump and the other red clamp to the positive terminal on the vehicle with the dead battery. Do Not let the remaining black clamps touch the connected red clamps.
  7. Next, attach the black jumper cable clamp to the negative terminal on the vehicle providing the charge.  The final clamp (should be black) should be attached to the negative battery terminal on the vehicle receiving a tow.
  8. You can now start the car providing the tow. Wait a minute or so before trying to start the vehicle receiving the jump. The car with the dead battery should start without difficulty.
  9. Once the previously dead vehicle is running, you can disconnect the jumper cables.
  10. Very important. Drive the car that had a dead battery around the block a few times so the battery can re-charge. Otherwise, if you turn the car off too soon, the car with the dead battery may be unable to start again.
